Counseling Center
Conant House
Colgate University
Hamilton, NY 13346-1398
Phone: (315) 228-7385
Fax: (315) 228-7053
Office hours: Monday–Friday:
8:30 am – noon and 1:30 pm – 5 p.m.
Location:
The Counseling Center is located in Conant House — a fieldstone house with dark green shutters behind Drake Hall and above the Bryan Complex. You can see Conant House from Drake Hall’s archway. The road that leads to Conant House is the same one that goes behind Curtis Hall and past the Edge Café. Its slightly out-of-the-way location lends itself to the privacy and confidentiality that many students say they appreciate.

Making an appointment:
The services of the Counseling Center are offered free of charge to all Colgate students. Click here to take you to a confidential, secure on-line scheduler to make a first appointment. You may also simply call the Counseling Center (between 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m., Monday through Friday) or drop in at Conant House and set up an appointment personally with the office manager.
Emergencies:
A counselor is always available (24/7) by calling campus safety at 228-7333. However, during office hours (8:30 a.m. - noon and 1:30 p.m. -5 p.m.) a counselor is accessible at 228-7385. The Counseling Center has walk-in services each day, from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Walk- in services are provided primarily for emergency situations. If your concern is not an emergency, we ask that you schedule an appointment. Walk-in services can also be used to consult about another person or to explore therapy options. Walk-in services are provided on a first-come, first-served basis; however, emergencies take precedence.
Confidentiality:
Counseling sessions are strictly confidential. Your privacy is very important to us; and thus, The Counseling Center adheres to state laws and ethical standards, which require that all client information be held in confidence. Except in emergency circumstances no one outside of The Counseling Center is given any information—even the fact that you have had an appointment—without your consent.
